As an eight-year old, I recall my favourite player, Eddie Matthews, and the Milwaukee Braves beating the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series.
But the daily ebb and flow of a pennant race?
That didn’t come until years later.
So, while it has been 22 years this October since the Blue Jays were in the World Series, it’s been longer than that for the team’s younger fans to celebrate the enormity of each victory and suffer in the collapse of each defeat.
If you are roughly 30 years of age or younger, then this is your first pennant experience.
